Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after an assault in New York?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the assault to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. However, this timeframe can differ based on who is involved in the case. To ensure you meet all deadlines and preserve your right to compensation, it’s essential to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
What factors should you consider when hiring a lawyer?
When selecting a lawyer to represent you as a crime victim, consider their experience in personal injury law and with cases similar to yours. Look at their track record of successful outcomes, read client testimonials, and evaluate how responsive they are and how well they communicate. A trustworthy, experienced attorney who makes you feel heard can make a significant difference in your case.
Do I need a personal injury lawyer or a criminal lawyer as a crime victim?
If you’ve been injured due to a crime, the state typically handles the criminal prosecution by pursuing charges against the offender. However, if you want to seek financial compensation for things like medical expenses, lost wages, or emotional distress, you’ll need to hire a personal injury attorney. They can help you file a civil lawsuit to recover damages separate from the criminal case.
How do I choose the right attorney for my case?
Start by looking for someone who focuses specifically on personal injury law due to a crime and has a strong history of handling cases like yours. Check their reputation through client reviews, case results, and professional credentials. It’s also important to choose a lawyer who is accessible, communicates clearly, and makes you feel confident and supported throughout the process.
